June Shoot – Mid Winter cup

100 targets handicap

We had snow at our shoot in April and no snow for the Mid Winter Cup, however Jack Frost didn’t let us down with a frost thick enough to make one wonder if it hadn’t snowed overnight. Like all good frosty mornings the day that follows is usually picture perfect and Sunday was no exception.

Once the setup crew got over the initial hurdles of a minus 6 start, frozen water, frozen traps and frozen hands. The day went off without a hitch.

32 shooters shot the handicap event over seven stations with a good mix of targets.

Doug Alcock took out the day and the cup with a healthy 116/100 and in the process went from C grade to A grade.

Jack Fairfield-Smith obviously must be getting some good direction from his father as he come in second behind Doug by 2 clays.
